Lyrics

Our Fa­ther in Hea­ven, we hal­low Thy name;
May Thy king­dom ho­ly on earth be the same;
O give to us dai­ly our por­tion of bread;
It is from Thy boun­ty that all must be fed.

Forgive our trans­gress­ions, and teach us to know
That hum­ble com­pas­sion which par­dons each foe;
Keep us from temp­ta­tion, from ev­il and sin,
And Thine be the glo­ry, for­ev­er! Amen!
